Fetty Wap marries Alexis Skyy in New Jersey nine months after prison release

Fetty Wap has married Alexis Skyy in a lavish ceremony in New Jersey, marking a fresh start for the rapper just nine months after his early release from federal prison. According to the Daily Mail ^[1], the 35-year-old, born Willie Junior Maxwell II, tied the knot with his on-and-off partner on Saturday, celebrating his freedom with a glitzy affair that included all-white satin attire for both the bride and groom.

The wedding follows a whirlwind romance that reignited after Fetty’s release in January, having served only part of his sentence. The couple had initially dated for two years before splitting in 2016, but quietly reconnected following his return to society. The Daily Mail Showbiz noted ^[2] that Fetty proposed in July with a dramatic display of pink roses, candles, and a glowing neon "Will You Marry Me?" sign, which Alexis Skyy confirmed on Instagram with the simple caption, "I said yes."

For the ceremony, Alexis opted for a white satin gown adorned with lace and sheer sleeves, paired with white Jimmy Choo heels and a long, trailing veil. Fetty matched her aesthetic in an all-white satin suit featuring a long coat and matching shoes. Bridesmaids were clad in pink satin, echoing the romantic theme of the earlier proposal.

The union comes after a turbulent period for the "Trap Queen" hitmaker. He received a six-year federal prison term in May 2023 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Federal prosecutors had accused him of distributing more than 100 kilograms of drugs across Long Island and New Jersey between 2019 and 2020. During his sentencing, Judge Joanna Seybert remarked that he had thrown away his potential despite his background.

Since his release, Fetty has focused on community initiatives, telling The Shade Room he is committed to supporting at-risk children through education and tech skills. "I’m committed to moving forward with purpose and making a meaningful impact where it matters most," he said. The couple’s wedding marks the latest chapter in a story of redemption and reunion, blending personal milestones with public scrutiny.

The event highlights the couple’s resilience, having navigated a high-profile legal battle and a public separation before finding their way back to each other. As they begin their life together, the focus remains on their public image of unity and forward momentum.
